<DIV>William,</DIV>
<DIV>Did you rest something on top of a bridge pin to see it the =
offending
string would behave? My experience with most Kimballs is dealing with =
loose
bridge pins and poorly notched bridges and poor material making up the =
bridge
cap.</DIV>

that has
some serious false beats in the upper tenor and treble sections. =

anything I may have overlooked before I suggest replacing some of the
